Think Pink!

It’s fall, it’s Halloween season, but I’m still thinking pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. And, so as part of the movement I am planning to post a few pink recipes this month. Recipe #1 is my Strawberry Smoothie. It is one of my FAVORITE smoothies…and if you follow me on my site at www.jodiefitz.com, you will soon realize that I am a smoothie-holic!

STRAWBERRIES: Fresh strawberries can be substituted in this recipe. If you do use fresh strawberries, they must be rinsed, the greens removed and the berries sliced before blending. In addition, add 2 cups of ice for thickness and coldness.

If you are using the frozen strawberries, be certain to purchase the freshly frozen berries NOT the package with added syrups and sugars. The fresh frozen strawberries with nothing added have the same nutritional value as the fresh. The price typically remains the same throughout the year making it affordable throughout the seasons.
